Yea, I got the Chanel Noirs Obscurs Palette to work for me! I do have to say it requires a lot of work to get the color to show up nicely. By working slowly, buffing in the shadows into place and a neutral base, I think it de-emphasizes the greyness to the Noirs Obscurs eye shadow palette. I'm also mixing it up with high end and low end. I use a little bit of L'oreal, Bonne Bell, MAC and Chanel. I'm no brand or drugstore snob ;)

As well, I'm skipping the basic face stuff since it's the same as in my last FOTD. Sorry, no close up closed eye pictures. They were all blurry, I wish I had steadier hands! ;)

Apply a small about of Urban Decay Primer Potion to lids. Using a MAC 242 brush, apply Painterly to entire lids, then blend out edges using a MAC 217. Apply lighter shade of Racy duo using a MAC 239 all over lid. Apply Blanc Type to brow bone using MAC 252. Apply dark blue shade of Noirs Obscurs Palette above the crease using a MAC 226. Define the crease with the green shade of Noirs Obscurs palette and a MAC 219 brush. Smoke out lower lashline with MAC 219 and green shade. Blend out edges. Tightline upper lashline and line waterline with MAC Feline. Curl lashes, apply one coat of MAC Zoom Fast Black lash, followed by one coat of MAC Dazzlelash.

Apply Superdupernatural to cheeks with MAC 129 brush. Apply Sculpt to hollows of cheeks using MAC 225. Apply Accentuate to tip of nose and above cheekbones.

Line lips with Ash Rose, Apply Brave New Bronze and top with Love Nectar.

About Me

Beyond being a shopaholic I like to crochet, bake and run around with my dog. I like to think I'm caring and friendly. But I also know not to take things to seriously sometimes and have a lot of fun. Beyond being your typical twenty-something female, I am a university graduate with BSC's in Biology and Computer Science. Yes, I am an odd mix. ;) I love to travel and enjoy whatever is around me. I'm no beauty expert, but I am definitely a beauty addict =)
